Isaiah—12th Chapter 


Verses 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 


“ Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid; 
for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also 
has become my salvation. 

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of 
salvation. 

And in THAT day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon 
his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention 
that his NAME is exalted. 

Sing unto the Lord for he hath done excellent things; this is 
known in all the earth. 

Cry out and shout , thou inhabitant of Zion; for great is the 
Holy One of Israel in the midst of theef*

THE PARENT CIRCLE 



E ARE Beads upon the Chain of Spirit, 
NOW, and as created in That Day; 

And these beads shall shine as jewels, 
When we walk the Perfect Way. 


When we forsake the LAW of God, 

And rely not on the Father, Spirit pure, 
Then the Beads begin to crumble 
And not long will they endure. 


FAITH will make the contact; 

Obedience bring forth the Sign: 
God’s Law in action, here and NOW 
Reveals Man to be, a Son divine. 


9 




THE SACRED NAME 


“I AM” the name of Being, a subject 
Vast indeed; impossible to predicate 
And by this truth we read, the Name of 
Him includes the ALL and there is none 
Beside, thus by this means, the Tower 
Is built in which mankind can hide. 


When the I AM was revealed to Moses, 

As he sought the NAME to tell his flock; 

So few could comprehend him, but Moses 
Saw the rock of UNITY upon which the 
World must build and teach; yea, the final 
Goal that every man must reach. 

This Gleam of Light Eternal, sent forth 
In ages past, the Truth contained so vital 
Has dawned on Man at last. Despite the fact 
That for centuries, it was completely veiled 
By Superstition, Wrath and Greed: 0 priceless 
Gift untarnished, thru you Man shall be freed. 



10 









TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL 


God of LIFE has been called “ONE” 
ls, down the ages the race has come, 
speak of Him thus, yea every man, 

When God does speak, He says, “I AM!" 

When you plant your faith in the God that is ONE, 

The race, thereafter, with joy you’ll run. 

The God of ISRAEL is ever near; 

He is all LOVE and He casts out fear. 

He is the BALM to the NEED applied! 

And to prove this Truth Lord Jesus died. 

He takes no pleasure in the death of Man, 

But says, Lay hold of Me and*LIVE! you CAN. 

Lord Jesus was an outward symbol of an Inward Power 
IT is in EACH MAN this very hour! 

IT is born in a manger, in a lowly way; 

But a Saviour IT IS, all the Saints will say. 

Oh, I am for Life and Peace and Joy; 

My hand in THINE, so Ship ahoy! 

I’ll never go back in Egypt to dwell; 

Nay, Life for me, and I know that’s hell! 

Man is of God and can return; 

If he refuse, in hell he’ll burn. 

While the Lake of Fire is a figurative speech, 

The one you’ll get is sure a “peach.” 



11 


There is for Man a POWER supplied; 

Lord Jesus used it and was glorified. 

When we fear THE NAME and use it aright; 

We have then taken up a scepter of might. 

Jesus Christ does save, and can be in every one. 

But forget NOT, the FATHER is greater than the SON. 


12 


THE MISSION OF JESUS 


ESUS LIVED and Loved and Laboured; 

Taught—Implored—Healed—Led the WAY: 
Was indeed, the Great WAYSHOWER, 

Gave the RULES, which live today. 

Down the ages comes the echo from His voice in Galilee; 
It was meant for every creature, “You shall 

KNOW the Truth and the Truth shall make you free!” 

He taught no Speculative Ethics— 

Ritual—Creed or Code: 

We, OURSELVES, He called the Temple; within our hearts 
Must ever be Spirit’s divine abode. 

As Moses did before Him, He also taught 

“I AM.” This annihilates the sense of separation, 

The Great Destroyer of Man. 

God, he taught, is Universal Spirit, 

“I and the Father are one.” 

And nowhere at any time or place did He declare 
Himself to be the ONLY Son! 

What He asked, was our obedience to the LAW 
Which He proclaimed: 

This, to be the only form of WORSHIP— 

The final goal we must attain. 



13 



The Beginning—the Middle and the END 

Of His ministry was forsooth, to give Mankind 
The knowledge of this Great Liberating Truth. 

(He saw TRUTH—Applied Truth—Became TRUTH 1) 
But wherever He preached, healed or trod, 

Men were enjoined, that this LIBERTY 
Must always be in accordance with the WILL of God! 

The true meaning of His life shall be revealed, 

And, 0 Brother, it is constantly being done: 

He simply trod the Path before us, 

And we follow One by One! 

He worked out His own perfection by the Plan 
Divinely wrought; and what He proclaimed 
Was FINISHED, for us, was just begun. 

(Jesus Christ was the WAY and He said “Follow Me!”) 
We are constantly unfolding, 

And likewise shall come a day 
When the Voice from out Humanity (God’s Eternal Son) 
Shall breathe forth in Love, “ Tis finished!” 

Then, shall we all be ONE. 


14 


MY ROSARY 


HE Thread on which ’tis strung is GOLD! 
A symbol of Pure Spirit—manifold: 

The Beads are Jewels, very rare; 

’s can e’er with these compare. 

They symbolize the Precepts 
of the Masters gone before; 

They are the STEPS that lead 
direct to Heaven’s door. 

Each bead is named, each name implies 
some food for consciousness, 

Well knowing, I take all I need 
and you have none the less. 

The foundation of each bead is Faith, 
its quality is pure: 

They remind me of the LIFE that IS 
and always will endure. 

The color of the “ONE” is white 
for it implies all Peace 

And Spirit pouring thru it, 
which will never, never cease. 

The smaller beads of varied hue 
but very rare in kind, 

Are WISDOM—LOVE and POWER, 
they represent the Mind. 



No King 


15 


The CIRCLE when completed, 
is symbolic of our God; 

The cross that dangles from it, 
the Path, the Masters trod. 

To some, the cross means sorrow 
To me, IT is DIVINE! 

And all that it implies can be, 
Brother, yours and mine. 


16 


THE CRYSTAL SEA OF GOD 
OR 

THE WAY OF DIVINE REALIZATION 


N THE Crystal Sea He placed us, 
Willing that we should partake 
Of His bounteous Love forever 
If we only will AWAKE— 

And behold the Plan so perfect, 

And the richness of His Grace 

Manifest within the Spirit, 

As IT brings us face to face. 

We are come but for one purpose, 

To do the Will of Him each day, 

Quick in service—quick in knowing 
Only Truth along the Way. 

We must KNOW that He who sent us, 
Keeps us, guides us, leads us on; 

And tho diligent in our calling 
Ne’er forget that Life is ONE. 

Ne’er forget that just beneath 
The frowns and cares 

Written on the sleeping Brother, 

Lives the One, who always cares. 



17 



Lives the One, who ever calleth 
To those asleep, “AWAKE and BE! 

Life is rich, glad, everlasting, 

For lo, I AM in the midst of thee. 

“Let not false belief e’er chain you; 
Take you captive, blind your Hope; 

I am ever near you calling, 

Waste no time to even cope 

“With the Thot that seeks to bind you 
Or implant a fear or doubt; 

They’re the ravings of the Sleeper, 
Keep awake and gladly shout 

“The joyful tidings of the Peace 
That I bestow, within the Soul 

Of every living creature, who will 
But AWAKE and KNOW.” 


18 


THE GREAT QUESTION 


HO has not asked, 

“Why am I?” 

The answer, simply this: 

You are, because God IS! 

We must consecrate our whole being to God, 
That He may work His Perfect Will. 

How can I do it? First, by obeying 
The injunction, “Peace, be Still.” 

We must enter into His gates with thanksgiving; 

And into His courts with praise: 

In other words, “tune in” in the proper way 
And He the veil will raise. 

The moment of growth is when the urgent voices 
Of the Senses are Silenced Complete! 

Then, God speaks in His Holy Temple 
And His LAW knows no defeat. 

Spirit is the ALL in ALL: 

Peace on earth will come, 

When Man can see God everywhere 
As PERFECT LOVE. 

Then he will be awake 
With eyes that really see; 

Will cease from all FALSE thinking 
And simply BE! 



19 



It means the awakening 
From Shadow to Substance; 

From Weakness to Power! God, being LOVE incarnate 
Working from the very heart of the Creator 

To bring about this HOUR. 

The Illumined Soults move thru life radiating this Light 
Which is the Philosopher’s Stone, forsooth; 

Transmuting into Heavenly Values by 
Their ABSOLUTE faith in Truth. 

Changing into VERY GOLD 
The metals, men call base, 

By just doing the WILL of God 
Whatever be the case. 

When the Spirit of Truth is come, 

IT will lead you into all Truth, O, priceless gem! 

This is the Great Instructor, and as Christ knew 
The ONLY saviour of Men. 

Salvation comes not thru or of an individual, 

Tho he be one of fame; Nay! IT comes 

Silently—Unobserved to all whb seek, and 
Reveals to our INNERMOST SELF the Sacred Name. 


2Q 


PRAYER 


TER, the very sound of the word 
Is forth a response from the soul 
soon as heard; even from those who 
Are still asleep, deep in the delirium 
Of World Consciousness. There permeates 
And invades the very depths of their being 
A Plea sent forth on the radiant vitality 
Of the Truth behind this symbol, built of 
Six letters, when conveyed on the wings of 
Sound, and ever the BEST in any soul glimpses 
A Hope, yea, recognizes in THIS a something 
Belonging to themselves, altho, perhaps not 
Claimed because of the chains of False Belief 
That are still binding their souls to earth 
And intensified by the maze of Materiality 
Which temporarily obscures their Spiritual 
Vision, still that deathless something within 
Man is touched and brought a bit nearer to the 
Point of awareness even by the passing by of 
One who loves to pray. 

PRAYER, the Gateway to Heaven. The ability to 
Pray reveals the eternal foundation of man. 

This is the channel thru which undifferentiated 
Spirit becomes differentiated into its manifold 
Expressions of the One Life. The Soul who can 
Pray, need no longer be a bungling constructor,, 



21 


For as he becomes attuned to the One Source, 

He is conscious of having laid aside a heavy load, 

The result of the activity of the Human Will, 

And by approaching the throne of Prayer in the 
Proper attitude, as was taught by Jesus the Christ, 

He puts away all worldly ambition and recognizing 
The glorious privilege accorded him by the Father 
Thru the medium of prayer; in true humility, bom 
Of his ability to realize his dependence upon this 
Perfect Source, he at once assumes the rightful 
Attitude of a true Son and with the windows of 
His soul thrown wide open, how gladly he says, 

“Not my will, but Thine, 0 God, be done.” 

PRAYER, the blessed gift of God: The LINK 
That makes possible the activity of the Father, 

Son and Holy Ghost. The road over which the 
Goodness of God is brought into Visibility. 

The sage knowing that thru the medium of prayer 
The Source of Life is tapped, and having made 
The connection with this mighty Living Sea of 
Responsiveness, there remains but one function 
For the one-time eager, active Human Will— 

Simply to Will that God’s WILL be done thru him. 

Thus he has ceased to be an outlet for turbulent 
Waters, which corrode and pollute his own instrument 
And may contaminate all with whom he comes in contact; 
Instead, standing in his true position, having made 
The Divine at-one-ment, he now becomes a fountain of 
Living Water; a channel thru which Divine Mind pours 
Out the healing, sustaining, comforting, Life-giving food. 


22 


PRAYER, the Pathway of Peace! when entered upon 
By man, by means of this close communion, the 
Divine Recognition is born within his soul sending 
His roots deep into the heart of BEING, which in turn 
Sends back the echo proclaiming him to be in all 
Truth a child of The King. A sense of peace 
Pervades the soul, together with the consciousness of 
Abundance, which at once dispels all false belief 
Regarding Life: and GRATITUDE now replaces every other 
Emotion and henceforth manifests as the major part of 
That soul, who has beheld, even for an instant, the 
Infinite Realm of Reality. 

P-R-A-Y-E-R, Prayer, the king among words. 

The meaning and the power concealed behind these 
Six letters, when set free removes the fetters wrought 
By World Belief and cast about the soul weighing 
It down to earth. Prayer establishes man in right 
Relation to God, the Source of all manifestation 
And makes of him a Light upon the Path—a power 
For good—a Peaceful Fountain out of which issues 
Forth on the words of Living Spirit much of the 
Beauty and Purity of God. 

This Golden Link called prayer, reinstates 
The wandering Son of God; brings him into conscious 
Realization of his true place in the Perfect Plan 
Of God’s Perfect Universe. Prayer understood and 
Used removes every burden from mankind; IT is the 
Divine Promise concealed in the very nature of the 
Divine Being, awake and active in the Son, with the 
Glorious result that He now stands forth as He is, 

The Divine Reavealer. 


23 


Yes, Father, we do behold thy Love, 
Which does remove all care; 

And grateful are our souls indeed 
For the Golden Link of Prayer. 


24 


LOOKING TOWARD JERUSALEM 


ET us keep our windows open toward Jerusalem, 
The Eternal, Beautiful City of Peace: 

Let us follow the gleam we have sighted, 

For this way lies the promised release. 

When the Lions roar about you, setting 
Up an awful din, stand before the Golden 
Portals and calmly look within. Thru this 
Blessed window we behold the City of God, 

And down the ages come the echo of the millions 
Of feet that have trod this shining pathway. 

Be of good cheer, the sign boards each reveal 
A sacred truth concerning this abode. Forward march! 
This way there is no fear. We pass within the 
Portals, to hear the Voice say, “I AM THAT.” Look! 

This is the City of God, one hundred and forty-four 
Thousand strong, created by Him and located on the 
Beautiful hill of Understanding. Take your eyes 
From the sod. Now as we behold this city, we see 
The Father’s work and marvel at His goodness; 

Our Courage mounts, our Faith has changed to Sight— 
We see Him as He IS in all His Love and Might. 

As we contemplate His nearness, our old selves 
Are lost thru the true beholding: Oh, brother, 

Do not count the cost, for the only thing that 
You relinquish is a mammoth False Belief—the 
Enemy of Righteousness, the father of World Grief. 



25 


Now look upon this City, the perfect work of Him, 
Who beheld His Creation in the dim, dim long ago 
And pronounced it very good; Sacred History says 
’Tis so; and sacred history is a record of a truth 
That lives in every soul: Reduced to a sentence, 

We read, One Father—One Creation—One Family 
And ONE GOAL. 

Now let us continue beholding this City, 

Yea foursquare. It is so fascinating and nothing 
Half so fair in the whole of God’s Creation or 
More satisfying to the soul—nor a sweeter consolation 
While we contemplate the whole blessed universe 
Than the picture of His Will concerning US! 

Is this not a marvelous sensation, as we 
Rise in consciousness and realize His Will 
Concerning US is but a WILL to BLESS? 

Here sin and sickness flee away and the 
Robe of Fear we shed; the mantle of the 
Christ we don and HOPE—PEACE—COURAGE 
Now we feel, instead of groping in the 
Darkness of False Belief and Separateness. 

There has been a grand reunion of the Father 
And the Son, thru the medium of Understanding 
Which reveals them now as ONE. 

Now while looking at the Father, I recognize 
My place, an Instrument for His Expression, 
Supported by His Grace. Cradled thus within 
The arms of the Almighty, conscious of the 
Voice that speaks thru every living thing, 


26 


There arises within my consciousness, borne 

In on healing wings, that one Divine Announcement: 

And tho diligent in my calling, I REST, as now 
I can—because forever crooning in my ears 
Is the Precious Name, “I AM.” 

Within the perfect region, as before the scroll 
I sat, looking down the ages, whatever I beheld, 

The Voice says, “I AM THAT.” Whatever I desire 
Or ever wish to be, “I AM THAT” comes echoing 
Back to me. This is not a fable but the coldest 
Sort of fact. We were commanded to seek, assured 
That we should find; so thru this true beholding 
The WHY of Things, we track to the very lair of 
Being and find not what the world calls wealth 
Or fame—nay—we find a better thing, we find 
The Sacred NAME. And in ITS action, we also find 
What man has sought and sought in vain, because 
They looked without, instead of seeking the great 
Within. Many lost their reason in the confusion 
Of World Belief, swallowed up entirely by the terrific din. 

Within the New Jerusalem, we lay our burdens 
Down, the sad product of false belief—Self made 
And Self imposed; for foolish man and his folly is 
Now disclosed. Awake to a new realization, we 
View ourselves in the proper light, as created 
In the beginning, Creatures of Love and Might. 

O, peaceful Truth, yea, thou almighty fact! 

Stripped of all false belief; all fear and feeble 
Notion, at last, in the Everlasting Arms—Intelligent, 
Eternal Life—we stand face to face with the true 
Perpetual Motion. 


27 


Looking thru the portals of the City, yea, foursquare, 

In which dwell the twelve tribes; the one hundred and 
Forty-four thousand redeemed ones; within our heart 
Is bom a new appreciation, as racing thru our Being 
Comes the realization of the Goodness of His Grace; 

A term all generations mumble; little dreaming that this 
Is the medium that brings them face to face with the 
Everlasting Father and His blessed work: And that He 
Has never left us—no not for an instant did He ever 
Shirk His duty nor refute His covenant with man, but 
His Gift and His Protection are Eternal—ever waiting 
For the Soul who can lay hold by faith and consciously 
Enter this New Jerusalem, the city of Peace not made 
With hands. And how true that IT is let down from 
Heaven and can become to Each and Everyone an actuality 
Thru FAITH, the powerful CHRIST LEAVEN. 

Each Soul before he enters or even can behold, 

Must KNOW and SAY, I of myself can do nothing, 

Dear Father, have Thy way; Nothing in my hands 
I hold: The Christ Leaven has removed the scales 
From off mine eyes and instantly I saw as was foretold. 

I now denounce my righteousness which was only of the 
Law and ACCEPT the Gift prepared. Thru obedience 
We give up All and find that in order to BE ALL 
We need to read and heed the divine injunction which 
Saith, Apply the faith of Christ; THE RIGHTEOUSNESS 
WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH. 

We must keep our windows open toward Jerusalem, 

Deny ourselves, and follow Him—relying on the 
Father, the Creator, the Sustainer of All Things. 


28 


The moment we relinquish our burden of false belief 
Our Hope takes wings. When true Vision is bom 
Within our being, we call out, Away with the things 
Of this world—its false ambition and its gold 
And its pelf! They mean nothing now to me, for 
Thru the True Beholding, I have found MYSELF. 

“Thou shall no more be termed forsaken,” is a 
Message now for me; No more my land shall be 
Called desolate* dear God, I come to Thee in 
Consciousness; yes, on the mount of Understanding 
We become partakers of His Love, as our vision 
Is lifted from world belief and trained on things 
Above the babble and the wickedness and strife 
And now we rest securely in the One Substance, 

TRUTH and Life. Grateful for Thy everlasting 
Pleading thru which my soul has been awakened, I now 
Behold Thy Name to be within Everything, which likewise 
Proclaims for ME the marvelous truth, and good for 
All Eternity, I AM MYSELF A CITY NOT FORSAKEN. 

0 blessed Hope, 0 new-found Peace. 

This is the redemption from the Fall; 

This is the Divine Promise consummated; 

This is the True Release. Thy Kingdom come, 

Thy will be done henceforth. Old things 
Have passed away; and Thou, 0 God, art All 
In ALL in this New Perfect Day. 


29 


I. Corinthians 15, 20-28. 


But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first 
fruits of them that slept. 

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 
of the dead. 

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made 
alive. 

But every man in his own order; Christ the first fruits; after¬ 
wards they that are Christ’s at His coming. 

Then cometh the end when He shall have delivered up the king¬ 
dom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put 
down all rule, all authority, and all power. 

For he must reign until He has put all enemies under His 
feet. 

But when He saith ALL THINGS are put under Him, it is mani¬ 
fest that He is EXCEPTED which did put all things under 
Him. 

And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the 
Son also be subject unto Him that put all things under 
Him that God may be all in all. 

“I AM THAT I AM” and so on forever and aye! 

Therefore, this form called Man, is a THAT put here by the 
All-originating Spirit, as an Instrument of expression for this 
Invisible Source. 

Beholding my parentage—my origin—the Source from which 
I sprang, sent out from the Father to do His will, now I know 
that I of myself can do nothing but the Father within, He doeth 
the works. Therefore, I yield up the Little Self unto the GREAT 


30 


SELF thru the recognition of my true place in the Wonderful 
Order knowing that I am here to do the will of Him who sent 
me. I surrender the Instrument completely thru an attitude of 
Mind of receptivity to the Holy Will. 

“Be ye obedient to the Divine Will,” is of all advice the Very 
best. This is the medium by which we become attuned to the 
Infinite and tho diligent in our calling, we are at BEST. Thus 
we claim the PROMISE in which we NOW believe; beholding 
this Promise in the very Nature of the Divine Being and thru 
obedience, we DO RECEIVE. 


31 


THE ABSOLUTE—ALL IN ALL 


OD—The Absolute, is SPIRIT and out of Him came, 
This Temple called Man, yea, flesh and frame: 

He said we were like Him, yes, just the same. 

He is a LIVING GOD, a God of Spirit, 

We, being Sons, do Life inherit. 

He is the Creator of All Things, yea! 

We, too, are creators, I now can say. 

We were fashioned of clay and are so today; 

Just red earth, or Adam; yes, of the frame that’s the whole; 
E-V-E enters now, Spirit makes us a Soul. 

God, THE ABSOLUTE, is ever in the nascent state, 

And ever seeks such with which to relate; 

Therefore, to awake to this knowledge is man’s true fate. 

When I seek Him in earnest, being as still as I can, 

I then catch THE VIBRATION and KNOW that I AM! 

He is Spirit; dwells in all things, yea, even me: 

What is true of Myself, is also true of Thee, 

Oh, yes, closer than hands—closer than feet; 

He is ever present, will guard, guide and teach; 

Attunes me to Him and becomes my speech. 

I then take His “Hand” firmly in mine 
And say, NEVER my will but always THINE: 

This union brings forth the One True Shrine. 

The Father works and I too must work 
Become words of Living Fire. 



32 


Oh, the Peace and the Comfort; the Joys you can’t count; 
Now I rest in His Arms and am fed from the Fount, 
Creating all things, as I read in the Mount. 

I, alone can do nothing, Spirit within 

Sends forth for a purpose, then indraws to Him. 

The command sent forth from the Judgment Seat, 

Son, go forth, put all enemies under your feet! 

To accomplish this task is but our meet. 

The schooling we get in this trying hour 
Is such as to vest us with all true power. 

When all enemies are destroyed—all yielded up! 

When we have really drunk the cup— 

Then, to the Father, we yield our self up. 

Thru the Spirit within, we are redeemed from, the Fall 
TRUTH stands revealed. Behold, God, All in All. 


33 


BEING BORN INTO CONSCIOUS UNION 


Father, how gross was this Soul of mine; 

How flint-like my heart must have been; 

How blind my eyes, how stopped my ears, 
Regarding Your Law, concerning Men. 

But You didn’t regard me, as barren soil, 

A thing unworthy Your righteous toil; 

But You applied the “rod” in manifold ways, 

Until bleeding, I arose from those righteous flays, 

That You in love, lay on my form 
To compel me to halt, e’er the terrible storm, 

Which I thru disobedience had set into motion 
And that now promised to sweep me roughly 
Into Oblivion’s mighty ocean. 

Yea, stiff-necked, I went on the downward course, 
Unmindful of God, for I knew, perforce, 

In my Adam Soul, that I must ever make haste 
To gain THINGS of this world and had no time or taste 
To stop and read the banner of righteousness, 

Which was unfurled when Christ Jesus came to bless. 
Then, again, You laid Your Hand on me, Your child, 

And while the sensation was anything but mild, 

As YOU applied SORROW, as a Fertilizer, 

And considerable PAIN, as a Vitalizer, 

And caused me to wander over rough rocky roads; 

Ever and ever beckoned on by Thy righteous goads: 

Yea, I was trying to run away from myself, 



34 


But You ever pursued like a wily elf. 

Then, I was handed the Cup of Loneliness to drink, 

And was brought down to the grave, yea, the very brink; 

Where family forsook and friends proved false—untrue; 

Then stunned, I stopped and LOOKED and BEHELD in YOU 

The Father, the Spirit, calling—pleading in love 

For me to ACCEPT, yea, just to ACCEPT, the Gift 

Of Your Spirit to Man—the Means to heal and lift 

Out of those sodden conditions, which I had regarded asi life 

But in truth was only a wilderness fraught with much strife. 

So, crushed to the earth, a quivering mass, yea—ME! 

I heard the still, small Voice, “I AM Mighty in the Midst of 
Thee.” 

“My law for all mankind, was from the beginning, always the 
same:” 

It is written, “To them gave he the power to become the sons of 
God, even to them that believe on His Name.” Praise God! 

The Adam Dream was broken; my soul was clothed with fire, 
As I placed my hand in His and arose from out of the mire! 

I heard again the story old, but for all Mankind the SAME, 
“BELIEVE IN GOD AND FEAR HIS HOLY NAME.” 

Then once again the Voice exclaimed, (as true today as in the 
past), 

“I AM—I AM THE FIRST—I ALSO AM THE LAST.” 

Oh, the NEARNESS of the Father, who reaches down into the 
sod, 

And says, “I AM THE FIRST—I AM THE LAST AND BE¬ 
SIDE ME THERE IS NO GOD.” 


35 


D-E-A-T-H 


H HERE is a WORD of just five letters, 

Which has caused a world of grief; 

It is mighty—it is Awful! 

For the Souls of Unbelief. 

This Word has sent men sorrowing 
Down long and lonely years; 

Crushed our hope and dimmed the eyes 
With tears: Yes, ’tis spelled with just 
Five letters and’t is uttered in a breath; 

In truth, it is a phase of Life, 

This Word, so feared, called DEATH! 

Life, is Eternal, men of understanding 
Know: Death, is but a slipping back; 

A shedding of the worn-out garment 
Ruined on Life’s track, because of 
Unrighteous use to which it was subjected. 

The Ego, now divested of his house, must 
Wander thus for quite a space, when again 
T is clothed by God and enters, once again 
According to Law, the Marvelous Race. 

Death, for an Immortal! What a paradox! 

Spirit, is Life Eternal, the Father and 

Creator of All Things; we, being Sons of 

Spirit, behold the Truth, which unlocks the 

Seeming mystery, made wholly of a LIE 

And now we KNOW we are Immortal and can never die. 


36 



“So God created Man in His own image.” Yea, 

This is the truth concerning you and me. 

Just ponder the wonderful gift, upon Man bestowed, 

“That IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE DESIRED US TO BE,” 
This principle is just the same in women and in men. 

For it is written, “Male and Female created He them.” 

Every form is dual in nature and aspect, Forever 
And aye, as joined and set in motion, back in that 
Wonderful Day, when, ’t is said, God rested, 

Beholding All Things complete, having placed within 
Ourselves the very Judgment Seat, and vested us 
With LIFE, Oh, so full and free, providing, we lay 
Hold of the Righteous Law and simply BE! 

Behold, the Plan is perfect! Spirit will never 
Forsake; the promise of comfort is written, 

“His covenant with man He will not break.” 

Spirit enters Matter, as LOVE comes to redeem; 

The EVE of every ADAM and if not snared by the DREAM 
Abroad the earth, can rise in majesty and power 
And bring Old Adam to that triumphant hour 
Where Faith is Sight, beholding Spirit AH in All, 

The Creator, the Sustainer, the Refuge from the Fall, 

Which may result from a heart that is deceived— 

Rendering it unable to deliver the Soul, because— 

Because the LIE IT HAS BELIEVED. 

E-V-E, the Mother of all Living! What a power 
In her hand God did place! Woman, how truly 
Thou art the Mother of the Race; both in the Outward 
Form and the Inward fact; God gave you this power 
To wield; Awake! to the mighty responsibility; 

Gather thy brood within the Lifegiving Shield 


37 


Of Spirit and righteously apply and BE, oh BE! 

The manifest power that God bestowed on thee 
Back in the beginning in that first hour, when He, 

The Divine Fatherhood, looked upon His handiwork 
And did pronounce it ALL very—very good. 

Yes, dear Jesus, we remember Your precious word; 

Pray let every heart be quickened, as soon as heard, 
“Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.” 

Let us claim this promise; and the righteous law 
Which Jesus taught, apply to our own Temples. 

Of a certainty this Law is for all mankind the same; 

And forget not, ’t is written, “That believing you might 
Have LIFE thru His NAME.” “I in thee and thou in me. 
The Father and I are one.” “I AM” being the name of God, 
We now read plainly the Name of the Son. 

0 Grave, where is thy Victory, in this bright new day? 
When all Souls are being quickened, as they now 
Behold in Jesus Christ, the Life, the Truth, the WAY. 

Every Soul standing in His Temple, speaking the word 
Of release—redemption—life and peace to His twelve 
Tribes; the Saviour come to claim His own and by the 
Sword of Spirit, every evil thing is smitten! Oh, the JOY 
To realize, “ ’T is the Father’s good pleasure to give me the 
Kingdom.” For every Individual, this TRUTH was written. 

0 Death, thou seeming Monster, created by UNBELIEF! 
Your prey has been counted in millions and your hand 
Wrought only grief. Man, now awake to his rightful 
Heritage, fears not this paralyzing Sot—but turns the 
Light of Understanding upon this False Belief and KNOWS 
That it is NOT! The belief in death, has been man’s 
Worst enemy, no wonder the last to be overcome. Praise 


38 


Be to God, the Shadow cast by a vicious LIE is 
Powerless in the presence of a Conscious Son. 

The Grace of God, the Royal Gift bestowed for each 
And All, is the MEANS, which brings to pass the prophecy 
“Death is swallowed up in Victory!” No more the pall cast 
By this Shadow Monster shall bind the Hope of Man: 

The hour has struck; Understanding is the Palladium let 
Down in this New Day—and NEVER again shall this false 
Monster have full sway. 

0 God, thy Kingdom now is come. Let all Thy children sing, 
“O Grave, where is thy victory? 0 Death, where is thy sting?” 


39 


‘‘CONSIDER THE LILIES” 


ONSIDER the Lilies of the field, how they grow.” 
Yea, indeed! and the “HOW” is what we need to 
know. 

potential Lily in the bulb remains 
Until in the ground’t is placed, where rains 
And SUN their perfect work of UNION lays 
The heart of the bulb open, which then can proceed 
To bring into manifestation the Purpose of the Seed. 

But what if the Bulb were at all able to say, 

“I am all alone, unhelped in any way.” 

Right there the Thing, unmanifest, would stay. 

But God in His wisdom, made the seed to TRUST, 

So, it leaned upon Him and simply “bust” 

The old ugly shell, which held its soul 

And stood upright before Man, beautiful and Whole. 

Had the Bulb lay there and feared the Devil, 

There’d been no bloom, we all dare cavil: 

But thru its divine obedience, sweet and serene, 

*T is a beautiful thing, yea, Pure and Clean. 

Yea, the Lily is a symbol of all that’s pure; 

The Law thus manifest, is eternal and sure; 

And its message proclaimed, will always endure. 



For the 


40 


A Bulb you are, in truth, 0 Man, be thou not vain 
But knock and seek, learn God’s Law and walk therein: 

He promised, His yoke is easy, when we from sin refrain. 
Regarding Lilies, “None are arrayed like one of these.” 
Likewise, Man will be perfect, when he his Birthright receives. 
God has from the beginning, placed this Law within our reach, 
So, let us One and All, ACCEPT His GIFT, I do beseech. 


41 


ECHOING DELIGHT 


AM not sick, nay, not a bit! 

I am whole, yea, every whit! 

I am manifesting wholeness, let all confess 
’T is but the out picturing of Infinite Righteousness. 

I claim the Promise of the Spirit of Life; 

I think Pure Thot and not of strife: 

I accept the Gift bestowed on Man, 

Drink of the Living Fount and KNOW I AM! 

I let the Spirit that is, Oh, so near, 

Love me and heal me and cast out all fear; 

I have forsaken all ways of sin and shame 
Because of this gift of the Holy Name. 

I am a bead on the Holy Chain, 

Created by God and named by His Name: 

My soul just revels in this devotion, 

God’s GIFT to Man is Perpetual Motion. 

He has placed within me the Spirit so free; 

Yea, I am in Him and He is in me! 

Let US form this spirit in moulds that are pure, 

Then THAT which comes forth will always endure. 



42 



Rejoice, 0 Soul, for the Food and the Light, 
For the sword of spirit of wonderful might: 
Walk according to Law, for IT will justify, 
And Jesus applied will glorify. 


48 


PERPETUAL MOTION 


AM given the knowledge, now—today, 

It comes from God and it is the way 
To build a machine of Perpetual Soul; 
of Spirit reveals the whole. 

I am shown that it is divine simplicity; 

Spirit, in this field, is in the form of electricity, 

That sets in motion the leaves of steel, 

Which are the Wings of a Mighty Wheel. 

Thru the Power of the Wheel, thus manifest, 

It performs Great Wonders and meets Severe Tests. 

But here is the point, my Brother, dear. 

The REAL LIFE is in its ORIGIN and not out here (in the 
wheel) 

As long as the contact remains with its source, 

It will perform Great Wonders on its mighty course. 

When it falls away from its source of Power, 

It has entered then on a Sad, Sad hour. 

Its motion dies, yes, becomes less and less 
Till finally inert, ’tis a thing of death. 

If you would Live, keep your eye on the Source; 

Your heart attuned to the Living Force: 

The Father and Son United, is Perpetual Motion; 

To keep “tuned in” should be our devotion. 



The God 


44 




Life is Action, conveyed in the Breath; 

We can mould IT for Life or mould IT for death! 
All POWER is given unto the Son—yea! 

Here and NOW and forever and AYE! 


45 


CREATION 


REATION, a term stupendous! 

At its sound men stand in awe; 
For within it lies the meaning 
Of the Glory of God’s Law. 

It will be seen in every sunrise, 

We read the symbol of that day 

When Light came out of Darkness 
The beginning of the WAY. 

In the mind of God lay buried 
All Worlds and Men and Things: 

Then, Light! 0 glorious symbol, 
MANIFESTATION are thy wings. 

What is true of God and Universe 
Is relatively true of men; 

We are made in His Image and Likeness, 
Colossal truth, impossible to pen. 

The totality of Being embraces 
God—Man and the Universe: 

The beginning of the Trinity 
Which forever and ever recurs. 



46 



Man is also three-fold— 

Spirit—Body—Soul. 

He seemingly dwells in darkness 
Thru Spirit he’s made whole. 

How long he dwells in darkness, 

Will depend upon his thought; 

For this is Spirit’s mode of action 
And thru it all things are wrought. 

Involution and Evolution are not opposed 
Tho seeming; they are never found at war: 

It is only the earlier and later stages 
Of All Things as they are. 

The Spirit, (God) moved upon the face of the 
Waters, in the beginning, we are told: 

This Cosmic Element, esoterically called 
Water, mighty truths doth hold. 

The Initial Movement, attributed to 
Spirit, conveys a thought sublime; 

Herein lies the never-changing 

Power of God throughout all time. 

It is the Perpetual Urging of, The 
Life that is everywhere: Infinite 

Self Expressed—All Knowing, 

Even to the numbering of our hair. 

Down from the Blessed Dawning, 

Since God said, “Let there be light!” 

We have the ever-present wonder 
And the glory of His might. 


47 


There has been no pause in Nature, 

Just unfolding thru His’ might: 

In Truth, ’tis always morning, 

Not once descending into night. 

When Man’s Divine Day opens. 

This is also true of him; 

The Key was given by Jesus, 

“The Kingdom of Heaven is within.” 

When Spirit stirs within him 
He begins to see the Light; 

After this, it is impossible 
To descend into the Night. 

We are grateful for the understanding, 
Which enables us to see 

The Master’s instruction to Nicodemus 
Is still provable by you and me. 

Oh, the Great Day of Creation 
Is still within its prime 

And forever it shall be 

Throughout the course of Time. 

The germ of the New Heaven and 
The New Earth is rapidly maturing: 

Conceived, nurtured and unfolding 
By the Great Law all-enduring. 

Oh, the LIGHT is truly breaking, 

And marvelous hosts now see, 

Who will still further the Expansion 
And the GLORY that shall be. 


48 


THE PRIEST IN THE TEMPLE 



MAN, behold thyself! I do beseech, 

What God hath given you, in the POWER of speech. 
You hold within yourself, thru the medium of breath, 


An instrument, capable of Life or Death. 

We are told, never to murmur, but praises to sing; 
For words voiced are vital, yea, quick on the wing. 
Let your heart be united to the fountain of life; 

Then, speak words of Peace and never strife. 

You of the VOICE, are the Priest in the Temple; 
When you SPEAK, your world does tremble, 

Or it can rejoice and be at peace; 

Will the Priest in the Temple but voice release. 

Be the Good Shepherd and guard your fold, 

As the Wise Men did in days of old. 

You have the power to lead your sheep; 

So guard the door, a true watch keep. 

You own that FLOCK, which was given thee: 

Be the VOICE that says, “Come unto me.” 

If there seems a yearning in Egypt to dwell, 
Command with the Voice and all will be well. 

Yea, declare the orders; direct the WILL 
And to all the animals, “Peace, be still!” 

“There is a lifting up!” Be thy decree; 

Remember the promise: “I’ll draw all men unto me.” 


49 



Stand in the Temple, the Priest that you are! 

Lay hold of the Spirit and voice your power. 

“There is a lifting UP of all Forces today: 

Yea, a lifting up in every way!” 

We stand as a man and are agreed 
To serve our God in Thot—Word and Deed. 

We behold in Lord Jesus the Pattern true, 

And by the grace of God, we’ll be like you. 

Of a certainty, I am NOT a creature of death, 

Since God placed in me the Holy Breath. 

No longer like an OX, before Him I’ll be: 

Dear Jesus, I understand, and I’ll be like Thee. 

I am given the POWER, so I’ll wield the rod, 

And together, as one, become a GOD. 

I shall guard my Flock tenderly and strive to save my soul; 
While my Voice, with compassion, breathes, “Be Thou Whole.” 


50 


A SONG OF THANKSGIVING 


IKE the mighty oak, we dare to lift 
Our heads on high: fling out our arms in 
Service and defy the Elements; for our roots 
Are deep in the Living God. If our Life 
Subsisted in that which can be discerned 
By the physical organ of vision, then indeed, 

Could we be tom from our moorings and cast 
Asunder. But being founded in GOD the Eternal, 

We are untouched by the fiery dart of the wicked: 
Unmoved by the voice of the one who seeketh 
Whom he may devour. For we are folded in a shield 
Made of the Spirit of the Living God, thru which 
No unrighteous Thought or Thing can pass—or in 
Any way become manifest! Praise His Holy NAME! 
That Name, so very close, yea, now and evermore, 

Thy wondrous WORKS declare. 

Tho battles rage; let the wicked spout 
Consumed by their own zeal: 

God reigns supreme, as in the past 
His NAME within I feel. 

He teaches me, supports me NOW and HERE! 
Directs my every step; 

Tho storms may rage, I am secure 
With nothing now to fear. 

Oh, lead me on, 0 Mighty ONE! 

To Victory sure and sweet: 

Within Thy arms, I rest secure 
Unconscious of defeat. 



51 




RIGHT CONCEPT 



|OW much depends upon What and HOW we think 
Tis thus we weave and weld the chain 
Of our Experience link by link: 

And the quality and strength of this Chain, 

Can Dust or Iron hold—common, cheap pewter 
Or the purest GOLD. 

It depends entirely on the ORE of our Thought 
That we place in the Virgin Womb we are taught 
By the saints, who by patience have learned the Way 
And who have posted the road to a brighter day. 

For we dwellers ’mid shadows of doubt and fear, 

Thank God for the message they send sweet and clear. 

’T is: Your MIND must be mastered and used to BEHOLD 
The work that HE finished and in His hands ever hold. 

Faith is the gift which enables all to see; 

And what we behold proves us to be 
One with the Father, sent out by His Will 
To reveal His Ownself and His Promise fulfill. 

Yea, God is Spirit—The ONE—ALL! 

To deny this, dear brother, is to partake of the fall: 

To acknowledge His All-ness and His will to bless, 

Is to accept our Sonship and be at rest. 

For the action that follows is harmonious—sweet! 

Bom of Wisdom—All-powerful—Righteous—Complete. 


52 



GOD IS ONE 


)D is ONE, 

Oh, wondrous thought! 

May this TRUTH mankind enthrall: 
O Light of Light, we comprehend, 

INFINITE meaneth ALL. 

If God is ALL— 

Then All is God, 

And God all power confers: 

O Soul awake! your own acclaim, 

Alas, too long deferred. 

To KNOW 

That God is Life and Love 
And there is none beside, 

Is to enter Heaven Here and Now 
And in Joy and Peace abide. 



53 




THE WAYSHOWERS 


IEY stand amid the storm and stress 

Impervious to sin, disease and wretchedness, 
And hold the Light of TRUTH aloft, 

Nor care for blame or mortal scoff. 

Just true reflectors of His Light: 

Teaching mankind, God’s love and might. 

Proclaiming the nothingness of fear; 

Proving the Divine Presence always near. 

Their Word is like a beacon light 
Revealing TRUTH to erring sight. 

Living by Truth, these Shepherds keep 
First in their thot, “Behold my sheep!” 

As they lift and bind and heal and bless; 

Furthering the Plan of God’s righteousness. 



54 



TRUE METHOD OF PRAYER 


HEN Humanity will learn to say 

The words of Jesus Christ when they are wont to 
pray: 

Not my will, but THINE, O GOD, be done. 

This is the true acknowledgment that Spirit 
Is the ALL—that God is ONE: 

We recognize in this the All-originating Spirit, 

Which Gives and Gives and Gives; 

And Man, the Instrument upon this plane, the Measurer, 

Just LIVES and LIVES and LIVES. 




THE EASTER LILY 


EASTER and the Lily, 

A symbol most divine! 

Of a law inherent in the Son of Man 
Sent forth from the Parent Vine. 

For as you caused the Lily, fair, 

To spring from out the soil, 

Revealing purity, rare, complete, 

Wrought by thy Love, devoid of toil, 

Just so thy law concerning me, 

You placed with my soul; 

Which law obeyed, made manifest, 

Reveals me to be pure and whole. 

The lesson read in the Lily, fair, 

Is that all God’s Creation is pure: 

There are no base things, nor unclean 
But all are necessary, right and pure. 

Yea, the House of God is holy. 

We, the Temple of God, Jesus said. 

We live by the Spirit, if AWAKE, 

And feed upon Holy Bread. 

And this Bread, if we emulate the Lily, 

We will not offer unto the sod; 

But ever obedient to Righteous Law, 

We will eat IT in the Kingdom of God. 



56 


AWAKE AND BE 


SOUL is filled with praises 

for the Light I see today, 
ind I long to raise my trumpet 
and proclaim it on the way. 

I have risen from out a sordid hell 
in which I stood, 

Unto a peaceful heights, where I now 
behold the Fatherhood, 

And realize the Promise in His Nature 
us to own; 

This reveals a grand assurance that 
no one shall be disowned. 

The Father, omnipresent, who looks 
out of every face; 

And the harmony of His Being in every 
line we trace. 

Oh, what a sense of freedom, as we 
behold Thy might— 

And the marvelous protection thru Thy 
omnipresent sight. 

I feel the sweet protection of the 
great paternal love; 

Mighty—All-Assuring—yet gentle 
as a dove. 



57 



On this mount of Understanding, 
altho not Wisdom’s peak, 

I view my fellow beings and note the 
virgil Love does keep 

O’er those who still are tossed about 
in the sea of Unbelief; 

Chained in that dread delirium, which 
causes them to flout 

The Gift that waits for all, who will 
but awake and face about 

And heed the call, “Come unto Me and 

be at peace, I am thy Life—thy All— 
thy sure release. 

On this mount of Understanding 
hate and malice flee away, 

Only pity for the Sleeper, as he appears 
in this New Day. 

And my heart is, oh, so grateful for the 
power of love to see; 

I ask but one grand favor of the Father 
unto me— 

That I may raise my trumpet and call out, 
“AWAKE AND BE!” 

Let my note be, oh, so gentle, as I am 
allowed to serve, 

And from this grand proclamation may I 
never, never swerve. 

May I never feel I’m greater than the brother 
deep in sleep; 


58 


Instead, regard him only as a Son, a much 
loved sheep, 

Who but awaits the Shepherd to return him 
to the fold 

Of the Mighty Loving Father, who has loved 
him from of old. 

Yes, dear Father, may I ever 

as I walk and talk with Thee, 

Be allowed to raise my trumpet 

and proclaim, AWAKE! and BE! 


59 


RECIPROCITY VS. RECISION 


HEARD a VOICE proclaiming 
to a few attentive ears, 

As I was winding my ball of Experience 
while passing thru the years, 

“Oh, do be more RESPONSIVE— 
co-operate—concur 

In your relation with your fellowmen; 

for, brothers, I aver 
That in all the dictionary no word 

is more profound, can get you more 
If you’ll obey, to this conviction I am bound, 
than your ability to RECIPROCATE— 
Appreciate HIS motive—with HIS purpose do relate; 

It will strengthen your bond of sympathy 
And make them sure and sound, 

IF, brother, you are vitally alert 
And speedy to respond. 

The Crowd looked just like People, 

So I felt quite bewildered, when 
A Voice within ME said, 

“Good instruction for the Garden, 

But awfully poor for men.” 



60 




So I just kept on looking and winding on my woof, 

My lump of Experience, still hunting for a proof— 

A Rule of divine simplicity, with which to view my task, 
Yes, Father, this is- what I seek, ’tis everything I ask. 

So presently I found myself 

within a congregation small, 

The subject of discussion, 

various ideas from the Apple to the Fall. 

The message was somewhat lengthy 
and the hour was growing late; 

But onto the heap of BUD and BLOOM 

dropped the Word, RECIPROCATE. 

I listened while the sage continued 
most earnest and intent, 

And this is what we gathered from 

the blessed message thru him sent. 

“In this world of sin and folly— 
before it is too late— 

Be sure, beloved brother, 

that you do NOT reciprocate. 

RECISION, be thy motto regarding 
all the world’s affairs, 

For if you dare to once respond 

thy portion will be despair.” 

“Be in IT and not OF IT, was the 
command of long ago; 

This being the very best advice 

was the reason Jesus told us so. 


61 


Thru the medium of Recision, 

we shut out false belief— 

False hope and ambition 

and find that sweet relief 
That is born of true abiding 

in that LIFE that ever IS, 

Which is NOW perfect and always was, 
we, but BEHOLD the BLISS.” 

I went out from this Presence in silence, 
conscious of a sweeter—purer air, 

As I carried with me the vision 

of a world devoid of all despair; 

And KNEW that IT was finished 
in the dim, dim long ago 
And no lies Man can speak of IT 
could ever make them so. 

So round my ball of Experience 
I wound this sturdy thread, 

Lord, grant that it shall there remain 
long after Falsity is dead. 

For this completes the journey 

of a long and weary quest, 

Which transforms my Ball into a Scepter, 
a symbol of Peace and Rest: 

And thru some magic of the winding 
of this Thread of purest gold 
All false beliefs have vanished 

and this Truth is all I hold. 


62 


Henceforth, I will never respond 
to Ambition of this world, 

For now I’m aiming higher— 

a New Banner I’ve unfurled. 

Yes, I’ll ever abide in Thy Presence 

and partake of the goodness therein 
With no thot of the screeching about me 

in a man’s world of confusion and din. 

By lifting this old weighty anchor, 

we automatically grasp the helm 
And henceforth become partakers 

with those of a higher healm. 

And while thus in contemplation, 

the real meaning of Reciprocity was found; 

May the echo of it be picked up by the many 
and everlastingly resound. 

T is, keep your Vision so high, so noble, so true 

that no response from the world can come to you. 
For one law at least in this day I have found, 

we are bound to All Things to which we respond. 

Reciprocity ? The correct definition 

of the natural action of the Natural Man, 

So rise above it as soon as you can; 

for’t is found by Experience, that priceless school, 
That a Natural Man is likewise a fool. 

So whether you live in Palace or Hut— 
Reciprocity! To try to get it or be— 
why, there is nothing else BUT! 


63 


Therefore, RECISION, as blinders for your 
eyes to the things of this world; 
Recision, a muffler for the ears 
so the LIE be not heard: 

Recision, the Wall that ever guards 
the Straight and Narrow Way, 

Which leads from dreary Confusion 
to that one Perfect Day. 

Recision, need not be cold or cruel; 

but sweet, tender and kind; 

*T is but the instrument of righteousness 
for opening the eyes of the blind. 

Let us be quick to apply the Lever 

marked Recision, to all the lies 
And keep right on BEHOLDING 
our Mansions in the skies; 

For oh, the blessed promise, 

“It does not yet appear 
But when we awake, we shall be like Him” 
so never, never fear. 

We are constantly unfolding 

and the Voice has told us this, 

That thru the True Beholding, 

we shall see Him as He IS! 

So on the scroll of Memory 

I’ve graven deep and sure 
The words regarding Reciprocity, 
oh, may they long endure. 

And along the Blessed Highway, 

while we drink the Privilege Cup, 


64 


Should temptation appear too real 

may these words come bubbling up. 
'‘Thru the medium of Recision 

we shut out False Belief— 

False Hope and Ambition and 
find that sweet relief 
That is bom of true abiding 

in that Life that ever IS, 

Which is NOW perfect and always was, 
we, but behold the bliss.” 

This will always bring before me 
the memory of that day 
When I was seeking the perfect Rule 

and met the Sage and heard him say, 
“In this world of sin and folly, 
before it is too late— 

Be sure, beloved brother 

that you do NOT reciprocate.” 


65 


A FRIEND 



F all the Words, both long and short, 
that any language lend, 

The one that is truly holy is that 
of FRIEND. 


We may know a lot of people, 
acquaintances most dear; 

Whose comradeship we duly cherish, 
whose tongues we do not fear: 

But Divinity must of its 
presence lend, 

If the finished article can in truth 
be termed a Friend. 


A Friend possesses knowledge, wisdom, 
understanding, love: 

Is always as wise as a Serpent and 
as gentle as a Dove: 

Will always encourage—soothe— 
heal and bless, 

And when we fall short, they love 
us none the less. 


66 



But with a faith that's boundless; 
a confidence supreme; 

They are a mighty Living Pillar 
on which ’tis sweet to lean: 

They wear the robe of Understanding 
and their power is to inspire; 

They radiate a Something that just 
somehow beckons higher. 

If you can point to ONE, dear brother, 
and in truth acclaim, 

“My friend! in sunshine and in shadow 
I find him just the same!” 

Then thank your Heavenly Father 
for this jewel, precious, rare; 

You have the one possession with which 
no thing can e’er compare. 

A friend sees not the Adam but beholds 
the Christ within: 

And is not in the least affected 
by any surface din. 

A FRIEND is embodied Understanding, 
and the love of God does lend; 

In fact KNOWS all about you, 
and is still your friend. 


67 


BROTHERS AND SISTERS 


HERE are brothers and sisters all over the world, 
Called so by the Law you will find; 

But the Brother and Sister indeed and in truth 
Are they who are of One Mind. 

All are brothers and sisters, potential indeed, 

But not all from the same part of the Fountain do feed: 
The law makes no thing perfect; long ago this was found, 
And this is no exception, as the Wise Ones expound. 

Food makes the man regardless of laws written in ink; 

And brothers are they, who together can think. 

Your plane of Understanding by your thot is wrought 
And can never be flesh born nor with lucre bought. 

You may live for years with strangers, indeed 
Because you contact different points from which to feed: 
You can meet quite suddenly, one from strange parts, 

And recognize your brother, because of the heart. 

Oh, the kinship of flesh is a very weak tie, 

As compared with the bond that is lent from on high: 
And those truly are brothers in all kinds of weather 
Despite age or geography who can THINK together.

THE STORY OF EDEN 



f 


1 




Tho an allegory, we have a truth profound. 
In following up this wonderful tale, 

Much light we gain, when we lift the veil. 


Altho this record was written in ages past, 

It will be a lamp to Man’s feet while the world does last. 

It means Man’s freedom, with no thot to fetter, 

Can we but read the Spirit, instead of the letter. 

Too long has the world been tenaciously bound 
By cold lifeless letter, while within Spirit is found 
The TRUTH that gives life: This lesson is for all, 

And within Conscious Self, we must watch for the FALL. 


The conservative lines of thot was the WALL 
Built ’round the Eden preceding the Fall: 

From the Scribes came this record, with truth not a tittle; 

’T is, but the conclusions of men who read much and thot little. 

This is not a Material Enclosure, we know, 

But a Mental State, wherein does grow the upreaching 
For the fulfillment of our lofty aims, 

And not a fruit-bearing tree of material claims. 


69 




Two Divine Principles are depicted by Adam and Eve: 

When we grasp this truth, it will not leave room 

In our mind for fancy or fable: EVE, the divine principle 

Sometimes deceived, but ADAM (red earth) would never be able. 

Now in Timothy, two-fourteen, we find, a statement by 
Paul, which is clear to the mind, why Adam was thus 
Undeceived: For Eve controls all, and thus by 
Her transgressions, can bring on the FALL. 

This Garden, then, is one of the SOUL: 

Adam and Eve, divine principles, which make up the whole. 

The Fruit, our innermost perceptions of Spirit are; 

Let us watch how we use them, they will carry us far. 

THE GARDEN OF THE LORD, it is called elsewhere: 

The Plants we set out, are our Thoughts—our Deeds! 

So beware, of your sowing and religiously tend 
If Peace—Power and Glory you would reap in the end.

UNFOLDMENT 

Or 

THE MAKING OF A MAN OF POWER 


HIS man has traveled a long, weary way 
But at last has arrived at that Blessed Day 
Where he is a Conscious Member of the race, 

And now has the courage, Himself to face. 

He realizes a Presence has raised him up; 

Been with him continually and offered to sup 
With him, indeed, in a most intimate way, 

Would he but open his heart and bid him stay. 

There came with this Presence, such a sense of Love, 

Tho Doubt was cold that power from above 
Shed a light all thru him—transformed he arose, 

And resolved, no longer his heart he would close. 

The VOICE was so gentle; 

Gone was his inner turbulent din, 

As he very sincerely bid the Presence, “Come in.” 

“I love you so much and have watched you so long; 

I am come for One Purpose that you may be strong.” 

Said the Presence, upon entering the heart of this man. 

“You are to consummate a Divine Purpose: oh( doubt not, 

I warn you, you can, by collecting your forces in an 
Orderly way, be Your OWNSELF and No Thing can dismay.” 



71 


“So let us no time lose, but begin to organize 
That you may take your place among the wise; 

Remembering that all men who are upright and who travel far 
Are those who hitch their Hope to Wisdom’s star.” 

The marvelous experience of this man this hour, 

Revealed by the Presence, let us name, Conscious Power. 

He began to call into being, the forces, his own; 

Aided by this Presence, for no more is he alone. 

He was never alone, in truth, but to really bless, 

We must have this Presence in Consciousness. 

Now Faith took his place in an upright way 
And forthwith begat Strength that very day. 

Now Faith and Strength, council must know, 

So Judgment was called the Way to show. 

But Judgment, while righteous, was sometimes harsh and cold; 
So Love was beseeched the Scepter to hold: 

And altho unseen in the hand of the Law, 

This proved the leaven that removed the flaw— 

The sting—the hurt—the bruise— 

That Law will inflict when Love is not used. 

Now behold the man, he is well on the Way, 

With Four Forces harnassed and eye on that day 
When he shall command a company strong 
Capable of service in the righting of Wrong. 

So his soul called another in that same hour, 

A wonderful person, whom we’ll call Power. 


72 


Now with all this array of material at hand 
It is impossibe, one moment, idle to stand: 

Therefore, it was agreed that further they’d build, 

Behold, another vacancy must now be filled 

Lest the work when accomplished would lack the touch 

Of a soul who has Vision and in Thot lives much. 

Here IMAGINATION was commandeered 
And bid within the circle at once to appear 
But when this faculty arrived— 

Behold! he was companioned by Fear. 

Nevertheless, the work accomplished by this group was sublime; 
But it lacked a Something they termed Divine. 

So upon further counsel it was agreed 
That Real Intellect was the thing in need 
If they were to stand amidst the fray 
Of Life’s Experiences along the Way. 

Intellect proved to be a rather harsh fellow: 

Wise, oh, yea; but Cold not Mellow. 

However, this group were not abashed 

But gathered in counsel and together thrashed 

Out the tares from among the wheat 

And thereby called another to take his seat 

Within their midst, for would they turn back? Nay! 

For Vision was bom and they had beheld that day 
When Mighty Works thru freedom should be wrought; 

Thus with eye on the goal together they fought: 

And their works were Works that were Mighty 

And their Pleasures rare, as up Life’s road together they fare: 

United in purpose, as with Life they relate 

And the watchword of each is CO-OPERATE. 

So it was agreed that New Life they would infuse 
By procuring more Judgment of which all sholud use. 

73 


Now this quality of Judgment was wholly free, 

Beholding at all times the “I” and “THEE.” 

Now the working power of this Noble Ten 
Was a something with which to inspire all men. 

They have risen now to a higher plane; 

United in purpose and wholly sane; 

From here they behold an Open Door 
And as of One Voice they call for more; 

And feeling asured they have found the way 
Leading out of Confusion to that Perfect Day 
The next Force they called to take its place 
Is that rare combination found within the race 
Known as FIRMNESS, imbued with Love, 

Possessing much wisdom, yet gentle as a dove. 

Lo, this proved to be a drop of blessed leaven 
That was like a gift sent straight from Heaven: 

Yea, this was the drop within the bowl 
To merge the Forces and imbue the whole 
With a fragrance delightful, inspiring, rare! 

Which only Wisdom can lend and with which no thing can 
compare. 

The group is expanding in Size—Power and Light; 

Still another is needed in this glorious fight: 

How these Forces do revel in their battle array 

As the quality comes forth known as “Hark and Obey.” 


74 


Now this combination, quite blended indeed, 

Sets at naught False Belief and from much trouble is freed. 
But right here is a FORCE born of this combine 
Who will not say, “Not my will, but, 0 God, Thine.” 

So while well on the Way and that to Bless, 

Behold, Judas in the midst, clothed in Self-Righteousness. 
While this is A Power—but riot THE POWER 
And the reigning of which begets one dark hour. 

Nevertheless, he was to be numbered within the Clan 
And faced and understood by every man. 

But when his mission is finished, he must be cast out 
And Matthias installed beyond all doubt: 

But before this is done, the Soul suffers and strives 
To attain to that place, depicted in lives 
Of the saints who have taught us the way; 

But only thru obedience can we reach that day 
Where we lay hold of Peace and enter the REST 
That ever awaits those who would be blest 
By the putting away of former things and accepting 
The gift of Grace: This will lend the Wings to the 
Soul with which to take flight and which transforms 
Our FAITH into Perfect Sight. 

But if Justus, the Human Will, is allowed to dictate 
To the Eleven Fine Forces, this will only relate 
To earth; And with cares bear you down. 

When these Forces are betrayed and the Man crucified 
Then Wisdom mounts the Throne and his law is decried. 

Judas is now cast out; his mission complete; 

Matthias, by lot, now takes his seat, 

And he wields the Scepter of Love Divine; 

He interprets the meaning of “Not my will but Thine.” 


75 


Hq unites the Eleven by the power of the EIGHT; 

Obliterating the idea of Separateness with that of RELATE. 

Yea, Matthias, the OCTAVE, the OVERSOUL 
Lifts Man to his place within the Whole: 

The Dream is over, the Soul awake, henceforth 
With the Father can he now partake 
Of Life Everlasting—of Love and Power 
For the Ascencion was made that very hour. 


76 


THE NAME OF THE LORD 


^7|N OUR study of the Bible, 

It will be found at length 
That frequently we are referred 
To THE NAME of the Lord as a source 
Of Protection and Strength. 



This is not an idle statement 
But one of truth profound, 

So take heed, 0 Disciple, 

Prove your way and know your ground. 


While the Divine Being is called 
By a great variety of names, 

We find that each implies the other; 

Tho terms may differ, the meaning is the same; 


GOD is Universal Spirit. 

So spake Jesus to the woman at the well: 
GOD is Infinite—the ONE—ALL—I AM 
Are names the prophets tell. 

It was revealed to Moses that 
Jehovah was Thy Name, 

And the meaning of Jehovah 
Proves none other than the same. 


77 



In all we find Essential Life; 

And LIFE that is derived— 

And straight from out the Fountain 
Flows the Life that’s multiplied. 

Thus we prove the statement 
That God is ALL—including Man: 
Mathematically speaking, He is ONE, 
Grammatically—I AM.

THE DIVINE MYSTERY 


HAT drop of Crystalline Dew sent from above; 
This is in truth the Power of LOVE 
That begets in Man the precious Seed 
From which every atom in him can feed. 

It is the Spark of Eternal Fire; 

The Everlasting Father of this is sire, 

And IT does descend into the mire! 

Its purpose to bring forth a Saviour True— 

It is immaculately conceived by a drop of Dew. 

This drop of Dew descends from above, 

Starts out indeed on a mission of Love 

And performs Mighty Things when returned above. 

The Voice of the Seed says to I and to thee, 

“Lift me up! I'll draw all men unto me.” 

Jesus the Seed, comes forth to be crucified; 

This is a truth which can’t be denied: 

Oh, shout the glad tiding, yea, far and wide! 

When by the hand of Herod this act is conferred, 

The progress of Man is thereby deferred. 

When Joseph flees with the SEED to a Higher Lot 
And crucifixion is done in the one true spot— 

Right at Golgotha—then fear you not— 

He is not dead! but raised in power! 

And returned to his God that very hour. 



81 














MY PRAYER 


'LOTHE me in Thy Flame, O Thou Divine; 
Let my will be lost in Thine: 
Transmuting all the dross of earth, 
Changed by Thy Love into glorious worth. 

Apply the FLAME and burn away 
All wrong desire of yesterday: 

Wrap me ever in the Blessed Light 
That does bring forth the Perfect Sight. 

Yes, let the Flame all evil smother 
That I may know the Holy Mother: 

And Christ supplant the Adam traits 
Bearing me thru the Pearly Gates— 

That the Spark sent out be merged again; 

At rest—within the One Bright Flame.

WATCHING HIM PASS 


OW, we know, in our soul that the 
Great Master Hand, which sweeps over the whole 
Of the Great Harp of Life, means not to punish 
Or lead into strife but has provided a WAY for all 
Feet to go; It is Law to be sure and we reap what 
We sow on this journey out thru Experience, perforce, 

But God started us right upon the Course. 

It was Man who fell away from the Divine Estate 
And his struggles now, is to again relate with 
The Source of Life—the Cause of All: The fount 
Out of which he fed before he brought on the Fall, 

Thru his own disobedience, when he left the WAY, to 
Try out his own inventions that brought about that 
Day in his Experience, when he lost sight of God— 

Truth and Life; cut short his years and lay hold of 
Strife; believing that he was a Creature of Earth 
And NOT a Son of Real Divine Birth. 

He has suffered and died and passed thru the tomb; 

Came back again and walked in the gloom, as is proven 
By his past: Recounting his errors and stepping them UP 
Until he has drunk of a real bitter Cup—of his own brew! 
Oh yes, indeed, but his eyes were blinded thru transgression 
So he continued to feed on the Thoms and the Thistles, 

In this faraway state—always looking to the tomb, as 
A means to relate with His own true Source. 



84 



So ’round and ’round Weary Man has been— 

Thru the TOMB and back and back again—feeding on Sin. 

When Jesus came; the Living Picture and stood 
And Healed and Taught—but the ears of man were 
Stopped; his soul was fraught with his own belief; 

So he refused to accept the precious relief, as set 

Forth by the Master but went on his way—improving 

SOME—but lo, today, he talks of the man JESUS— 

Pronounces his name—but still hasn’t an idea for 

What he came: Bows down to his God of Theology each 

Week and still will tell you to come and seek—and 

Pass under the Sod—his WAY to Heaven—his WAY to GOD 

He says that he loves Jesus but sound him and see? 

He thinks the man Jesus, a sort of CLUB that stands 
Back of the Tomb, battling off a fierce God of 
Terrible mien: This is what he believes is the purpose 
For which Jesus came. “TO INTERCEDE,” he’ll tell you, 
“With this God of Life!” Think of it! This God who in 
Relation to himself is as close as his wife, and loves 
Him more dearly the Prophets do ween. (In many divorce 
records this truth can be seen.) 

This getting Experience, has been quite a lark. And 
Some on the journey have gone stark mad; the result 
Of disobedience—the abandoning the ARK of safety— 
Running counter to Law. Some of us have been laid 
Out by the road so weary—so sick with the load of 
Our sins—we just paused to reflect and somehow in 
The stillness, the flashes that came—proclaiming the 
WAY to the tune of the “rod” lain on our backs, we 


86 


Have sighted the Path and have mounted the WAY; clothed 
With one Purpose—to reach Home and stay. 

The Moral is this: As we call out on the Way 
To our Brothers in passing: We who have sighted 
A wee bit of Light and are trudging along with 
All of our might. We call out in earnest, “Take 
Your Eyes from the SOD!” That’s the first thing 
To do in seeking for God. He is first of all, a 
God of LIFE. Spirit is ACTION! yea, forever and 
Aye. We must look UP—get away from the gloom— 

The Doorway to God is NOT thru the Tomb. 

Behold, in Spirit, made MANIFEST in all things 
About us today—is the MEDIUM—the Power of 
Accomplishment, right within ourselves! Yea, 

THIS is the Truth and the Way.

A Pattern for all the human race:

Lived according to Law and was glorified.

With heart attuned to the One True God.

And ’tis open to all, yea, all who may: 

So, get off the road so beset with sin,

For every traveler that walks aright.

When we use the WORD aright; 

Oh the gift of God is might,

Yea, I AM in IT and AWAKE! 

And of this joy I now partake; 

For by its power my soul is justified, 

Praise His Name.

I am out of bondage here and NOW! 

CHORUS 

I am freed, thru the power of the Spirit applied, 

As Lord Jesus taught and to prove, gladly died. 

This truth is everlasting, yea, ever the same; 

We understand you, dear Jesus, you died not in vain. 

I was once a captive, but my God has set me free; 

I am free—free—free here and now: 

Once I wandered far away; praise the Lord I’m home to stay; 
And to Thee, we give the thanks every day.
